Do you able to translate for all us the text marked in the plaque of identification -dog tag- apported by Micdrow?

And the significance of the ritual coins?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi, Jan7.

Micdrow's dog tag can be read like this -
"Special Infantry 57th Company No.4-163"

Japanese Army dog tags had a lot of secret codes to hide exact identifications from enemies in the wartime but this tag seems having no such code. I guess maybe this company was organized by young students, volunteers and old men under an emergency.

Many thanks for the translation Shinpachi.

Many thanks, Shinpachi.....a good and clear explain of this piece. As if this piece seems a Rossetta Stone.

And very explicative your diagrams who shows in the form as your language is write, top to bottom and right to left....

Micdrow · 07-15-2008, 08:16 AM

Just thought of this but by chance you wouldnt have some diagrams of Japanese aircrew identification tags would you Shinpachi that could be posted here like the drawing above or any body else.

Many thanks in advance.

Shinpachi · 07-15-2008, 09:26 AM

Hi, Micdrow and Jan7 again

I will check other tags. Thank you for your interest.
I have checked your coins too

Yes, Jan7. Our traditional writing style is "top to bottom and right to left" as you pointed out. Great analysis!

Jan7 · 07-15-2008, 09:45 AM

You are welcome, Shinpachi!

I noted that in all the signs of the dog tag are overstamped an circle, also......o

Thought you guys might be interested in the uniforms of the IJN paratroopers

Shinpachi · 07-20-2008, 05:23 AM

Thank you Jan7. I'm glad to hear the names of Doraemon & Nobita in Spain!
It's a long run anime movie here too.

Thank you parsifal for the nice pic the IJN paratroopers.
It's very educational.

IJA/IJN uniforms were originally beautifull.
Here is a maniac though(not me)

A few off-toppic observation

Thanks for the link, Shinpachi!

I observed that this gents are inside in I-507. And translate means Google, is more aceptable.....-The Spanish version-

Is not scrapped or is a fictional rebuilding?

Jan.

Shinpachi · 07-20-2008, 09:28 AM

Hi Jan7.

There was no I-507 on the history.
It is a movie set for "LORELEI" a fictional war cinema though it looks very real inside.
